With no news of the batteries to power up the lights, Rentaro and his forces are about to confront the advancing Gastrea in the dark when thousands of lanterns appear to illuminate the sky for them. Setienshi contacts Rentaro who soon realizes that it was her idea to hold a festival in the occasion and he orders the attack to begin. Rentaro and Enju's companions tear by the enemy formation to open a path for them to Aldebaran and the duo succeeds to implant the bomb inside its body, but it fails to detonate. Realizing that it needs a strong impact to make the bomb explode, Rentaro decides to sacrifice himself, knocking Enju uncounscious after bidding farewell to her. However, Rentaro's Varanium leg is corroded by Aldebaran and he is unable to continue, when Shoma steps in to ignite the bomb in Rentaro's place, sacrificing himself instead. With Aldebaran destroyed, the other Gastrea scatter and are repelled by the Adjuvant forces, bringing the Third Kanto War to an end. After the conflict, Kisara calls her older brother Kasumitsu and reveals that she obtained evidence that he swindled part of the money used in the construction of Monolith 32 by reducing the concentration of Varanium in its structure and thus is responsible for Aldebaran's attack and all the deaths it caused. Kasumitsu and Kisara then have a duel to the death, where Kisara chops her brother's leg off and apparently spares him upon having him confess that he, his three other brothers and their grandfather planned the deaths of their parents after their father decided to expose the dark secrets of the Tendo family to the public. Little did Kasumitsu know, he was not spared at all, and was previously struck with another attack that claimed his life shortly after. Kisara rejoices upon enacting her revenge, but Rentaro scolds her for using such injust methods and fears that one day he may become her enemy. As Seitenshi moves forward with the approval of the New Gastrea Law, Rentaro and Enju are invited by her to be condecorated for their efforts to protect the city and on the way there, Rentaro starts crying upon reminiscing all the people they lost in the past days and fearing he may become insensible to their deaths, clings to Enju, who assures him that she will always stay by his side.
